Re: License Plate Bracket

[Paul Bethel <autofuse@infi.net>]

Id stare. ;*

Really though, I cant stand to have a front license plate on my
Scirocco-
looks like shite!

SO, in this totalitarian state of Virginia, I ride around with it on the
right
side of the dash against the windshield. Ive never been pulled in my car
for ANYthing.

Although, curiously enough, last week I was pulled by annoyed off-duty
cop in his
old Merc, because as I was attempting to accelerate onto the expressway,
whilst
merging, he kept speeding up and was NOT going to let me over. 
So, I pushed my way over within a couple of feet of his car, and he lays
on the horn,
then I JAM on the brakes and scare him real good, then I speed away.

Well, when I get off the ramp, he pulls up next to me brandishing his
badge, yelling
'Pull-over!'
So I do, and he comes over to tell me if I were driving in NoVA
(northern VA.) I wouldve
been shot for road rage. What a dumb fucker; I grew up there- I know
what its like.
I tell him he is speaking hypothetically, and he gets pissed, and then
asks why I hit my brakes,
and I say to scare you!
He gets more pissed, and says 'I was going to let you over...' I say,
'Right, thats why I was
winding it out, and you were closing in...'

He steps back and says, 'Well, just be careful out there..."
I say whatever and leave.

I have all the respect for state police, but these local boys are real
amateurs.

Anyway...
